Born in Upper Hutt, he had resided on the West Coast for 40 years. Frost on Cauliflowers I Frosts at Pukekohe on two succesi sive mornings have done considerable j damage to cauliflower crops. The I nests discoloured the white flower of j plants which were ready for cutting. ! and the discoloured portion soon deteriorated. As a result the price of 1 cauliflowers advanced sharply yesterday and this will to some extent compensate the growers for their losses. As the mature crops have Leen damaged it is expected that higher i prices will rule for about a week.
